To lift you up

You were always a man of so few words
Something I never understood
I always thought your eyes said it all
I haven't seen them in years
I feel, I know
You are not well
Hold on to hope
Your world may be crumbling
I can never know exactly what you feel
All I can do is await from afar
It's not the end yet
I pray for peace for you
Restless like the ancients
Awaiting change as it all spins out of control
Hold fast
You have been waiting as have I
For something good to come along
You know the pit comes after the plateau
But these valleys are quicksand for you now
Lost in the sands of time that keeps slipping away from you
You have become so wise, despite your youth
Hold fast and don't let go
Hope still rises, and love abounds
When you least expect it
